It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade, old landmarks crumble and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

I have been shifting away from BofA to a credit union (First South TN) over the last few months, and it seems to be only marginally better. Instead of great service, the benefit is shorter lines to wait through when resolving problems. Plus the indirect social benefit of not funding BofA lobbyists.

I kissed BofA goodbye months ago. Now earning almost 1.0% on my online savings/checking, instead of…something like 0.01% at BofA. Actually, I still keep the old BofA account open (with a nominal balance) both because it’s handy to have a bricks-and-mortar bank for emergency cash and because now I’m costing BofA money, not giving it to them.

Liberal Buttons, Political Bumper Stickers and Sweat-Free Shirts

To keep our voices independent of moneyed interests, the writers of Irregular Times have never accepted money for advertising on this website. But we still have to pay the bills! To help cover our expenses, we sell our own designs of liberal activist bumper stickers, buttons and sweatshop-free shirts.
